Add 1/2 to 1 cube of the color block into hot soap. Stir in until fully dissolved. Heat in microwave a little longer if not dissolving.

Add 1/2 oz (1 Tablespoon or 15 ml) of fragrance and stir well.

Pour 1 oz of soap (about 2/3 high) into each mold cavity. You will have soap left over in the pyrex cup. Set aside.

Allow to naturally return to room temperature.

When firm, place duck on soap. Do not spritz duck with rubbing alcohol.

Spritz the soap around the duck with rubbing alcohol. Pour remaining melted soap on top of the colored soap so that the duck is secured in the soap.

Note: This two step pour method allows the duck to remain upright while the soap is cooling. If you pour entire bar and place the duck in the soap, it will likely fall over.

Allow the soap to harden (approx. 30 min).

Repeat process until all of the soap has been used. Note: You do not need to color all soap. Some ducks in white soap look great!

Package in a cello bag with curling ribbon. Label according to the FDA labeling guidelines.

"How can I embed the valentine mini duck soap onto a larger heart mold? I have your mini ducks and ordered the small heart mold. I will make the soap as above but would like the larger heart as the base."

Staff Answer
Hi Tracey, What a great idea! We would suggest to make the soap and use the larger heart as the base. Pour in two steps so that the duck doesn't fall over as the recipe states. We would also recommend to test out in a small batch to determine optimal results.
